For a certain family of complete modular lattices, we prove a Jordan--H\"older--Scheier-like" theorem with no assumptions on cardinality or well-orderedness. This family includes both lattices which are both join- and meet-continuous, as…
We give a new proof that there are arbitrarily large indecomposable abelian groups; moreover, the groups constructed are absolutely indecomposable, that is, they remain indecomposable in any generic extension. However, any absolutely rigid…
We construct a certain topological algebra $\Ext ^{\sharp}_{G ^{\vee}} X (\chi)$ from a Deligne-Langlands parameter space $X (\chi)$ attached to the group of rational points of a connected split reductive algebraic group $G$ over a…
Given a regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ (e.g., if the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis holds), we develop a proof system for classical infinitary logic that includes heterogeneous quantification (i.e., infinite…
We prove that the Lipschitz-free space over a Banach space $X$ of density $\kappa$, denoted by $\mathcal{F}(X)$, is linearly isomorphic to its $\ell_1$-sum $\left(\bigoplus_{\kappa}\mathcal{F}(X)\right)_{\ell_1}$. This provides an extension…
We try to build, provably in ZFC, for a first order T a model in which any isomorphism between two Boolean algebras is definable. The problem, compared to [Sh:384], is with pseudo-finite Boolean algebras. A side benefit is that we do not…
We show that the notions of "strongly unfoldable cardinals", introduced by Villaveces in his model-theoretic studies of models of set theory, and "shrewd cardinals", introduced by Rathjen in a proof-theoretic context, coincide. We then…
While maximal independent families can be constructed from ZFC via Zorn's lemma, the presence of a maximal $\sigma$-independent family already gives an inner model with a measurable cardinal, and Kunen has shown that from a measurable…
We investigate the notion of strong measure zero sets in the context of the higher Cantor space $2^\kappa$ for $\kappa$ at least inaccessible. Using an iteration of perfect tree forcings, we give two proofs of the relative consistency of \[…
This article explores the model-dependent nature of set cardinality, emphasizing that cardinality is not absolute but varies across different axiomatic frameworks. Although Cantor's diagonal argument shows the real numbers are…
In [BKS15] examples of incomplete sentences are given with maximal models in more than one cardinality. The question was raised whether one can find similar examples of complete sentences. In this paper we give examples of complete…
Given two infinite cardinals $\kappa$ and $\lambda$, we introduce and study the notion of a $\kappa$-barely independent family over $\lambda.$ We provide some conditions under which these types of families exist. In particular, we relate…
In this paper we prove that if $\kappa$ is a singular cardinal with uncountable cofinality, then every power of a given topological space with precaliber $\kappa$ has precaliber $\kappa$ as well. Furthermore, if $\{X_\alpha :…
The following pcf results are proved: 1. Assume that kappa > aleph_0 is a weakly compact cardinal. Let mu > 2^kappa be a singular cardinal of cofinality kappa. Then for every regular lambda < pp^+_{Gamma(kappa)} (mu) there is an increasing…
We explore different generalizations of the classical concept of independent families on $\omega$ following the study initiated by Fisher and Montoya. We show that under $\diamondsuit^*(\kappa)$ we can get strongly independent families on…
We classify (up to quasi-isomorphism) the free differential modules whose homology is equal to a given module $M$ by developing a theory for deforming an arbitrary free complex into a differential module. We use an iterative approach to…
Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…
For an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, let $ded\kappa$ denote the supremum of the number of Dedekind cuts in linear orders of size $\kappa$. It is known that $\kappa<ded\kappa\leq 2^{\kappa}$ for all $\kappa$ and that $ded\kappa<2^{\kappa}$ is…
A model with a sequence of indiscernibles depending on a particular precovering set is constructed.The initial assumption is as follows: for every n<omega the set {alpha | o(alpha)=alpha^+n } is unbounded in kappa.
Given an isolated, quasi-homogeneous singularity $X$ we prove that there is a group isomorphism between the group of rank one reflexive sheaves on $X$ and the free abelian group generated by $\mathbb{C}^*$-divisors, modulo linear…
